Captain Scotts Departure for Antarctica
Two photographs reporting the departure of Captain Scott and his team on board the Terra Nova, bound for Antarctica where they would attempt to reach the South Pole first. Top picture shows the crew on board waving to those they were leaving behind. The bottom picture shows the Siberian ponies taken by Scott to haul supplies. Scotts predominant use of ponies and motor sledges over dogs (used by the successful Norwegian, Amundsen) is cited as one of the reasons Scott failed in his attempt to reach the South Pole first. Date: 1911
